Hi -
I'm a third year student hoping to do pediatrics and child neurology. I know that most peds neuro programs accept applications from students for PGY-3 but then you have to find a peds position for the first two years. I'm concerned about whether I'll be able to find a peds program to take me knowing that I'll just be doing the first two years. Any idea how people usually work this out? Should I apply to some peds programs for 3 year positions as back-up (6 years of residency instead of 5 still beats having to scramble).
Thanks for your help!
